Hello Everyone:
I am feeling much better, physically and emotionally, today. This morning, I needed to take it easy so I walked instead of ran my route. I had a nice healthy breakfast and went about my day like normal. I think one more good night's rest should do the trick. What made the day better was being back in my usual workspace, blogging away. No having to fight someone off for a measly two square inches of space or dealing with spotty internet connection. It's amazing how annoying things like no place to sit or bad wifi can become major crisis when you're not feeling well. Ordinarily, I would just try to plow through the annoying stuff and just get my work down as best as possible. However, when I'm under the weather, even the slightest thing can quickly escalate into a grand tragedy. Anyway, my Tuesday evening was pretty good.
Mom made one last attempt at suggesting a family meal at chez nous for my birthday, which I quickly vetoed. Then she mentioned about Sis and company taking me out the next day. Right, I'm sure. If previous history is any indication, what'll happen is they'll call all over town to places that I know for a fact I won't find anything on the menu only to end up at some pizza place because they couldn't get reservations. Either way, it'll just be another disappointment. Why would I want to waste a Sunday (my birthday is on a Saturday this year) at some place where I won''t find anything on the menu or leave with a splitting headache from some screaming brat? No thanks, I'd rather stay home and eat leftovers. I don't know why they're bothering this year? I said I specifically did not want mom or the family to plan any party for me. Why would I want to go along with something designed to please everyone else but me, the birthday girl? I mean it's my birthday, shouldn't I get to do what I want? Why would I expect anything good out of them? Why set myself up, again? I'm not even expecting much of anything from mom. If I'm lucky, I'll get a gift card to my local coffee emporium. I know you're all tired of hearing me carry on about this subject but it just touches a still raw nerve. I can't wait until the day passes and I can forget about it for another year.
